LAM09 7,056 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago This came showed one thing we're lacking massively - central goalscoring options. If Palmer isn't on his game, we have a hard time creating things. Rogers, Yildiz, or Simons need to be signed as soon as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Palmer away from the congested middle of the pitch where 4 players are attentive to him. LAM09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,916 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago And as an aside, a game like today shows that it makes zero sense for us to be in for Garnacho. Both he and Gittens are best against teams who are open or play a high line so that they can use their pace to burst in behind. Both are completely nullified as we saw today when a team sits in and they receive the ball whilst standing still with a defender in their face. So why are we buying another LW in the same mould as Gittens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craziest thing is even tho they'll be only two natural LWs in the squad on merit they should still be behind Estevao, Neto and Simons if we sign him who all play different positions but still better LWs than those two.

TheHulk 2,457 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Should've fucking waited another year for Kenan instead of spunking the money on the likes of Gittens and Garnacho and the worst thing with Gittens we paid a ton for him unlike Madueke the chances of moving him anytime soon are slim.

erinblue 27 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 1 hour ago, Pizy said: Thought Josh had a really good game but he didnt offer any forward passing. Same with Trev. It’s like Maresca says, we have a bunch of CB’s, yes, and quite a few really solid ones like Josh, Trev, and Tosin. But none of them offer what Colwill does and that’s a BIG problem when teams park the bus like that today. All we could do is pass it along the back and to Caicedo 800 times with no danger to the opponent. We don’t have that deep player now who can put a team on their heels with a single pass. And you think Colwill does this.....most of his passes are to cucu just in front of to caicedo.......few he tries to find Palmer are usually cut out........palace were organised, nothing was going through the middle, at that pace, if it went to the wing they doubled up....they are trained on sitting on low block & hit on break...showed it worked against Pool & City......we are doing exactly like past few yrs.... sideways & back 20 times .... opposition are just sitting facing the ball & closing spaces........no urgency when we win it back to get the ball up quickly.......we have to take a risk now & again when they have committed men forward.......we don't have runners in behind cos block too low........look at city yesterday....hit fast & have runners through from midfield........I think Gusto would have been a better option than Reece because he overlaps.....Reece doesn't, he's the oulrt ball if Neto can't get past his man......Enzo looks like someone who either needs a break or his mind is elsewhere....not the same runs from him.... should have been changed earlier.......

The Rising Sun 711 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Players not making runs in behind TRYING give and go's, no real closing down. Totally unprepared and not coached for this game. Terrible start to the season and the worst possible performances they could have done. Sanchez was so so bad. What are we doing with him. Really wow. Gittens as well is worse than Madueke.

gdlk 286 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago We cant continue playing with slow, safety sideway passes... Cucu midfilder and Enzo second number 9.. Thats why midfielders are so important, to deliver it from back to upfront and what does Maresca do.... Removes the midfielder and puts there a LB or RB.. I dont see any logic in that..

Mário César 1,273 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Not having a preseason will ruin our season. That's why it would be good if we didn't go to the Club World Cup in 2029 to rest. cfccrost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I think the team needed a little bit of rest before jumping straight into the pace of the Premier league. Disappointing tactically against an organized Palace side. They're going to face more of the same against West Ham, but at least they are not as well organized as Palace. So hopefully our attackers can open their account there.
